AE VERSION in PeopleSoft

Application Engine Version :

We may need to run AE VERSION when SYSAUDIT report shows that objects are out of sync and when you do a PeopleTool or/and Application Upgrade. It should only be run when there is reason to believe that the versions in the PSVERSION table are no longer coherent, or when the versions in one of the managed objects tables are out of sync with PSVERSION. Instead of running AE VERSION from PIA, it should be run from command line.

Below are the steps showing how to run AE VERSION in PeopleSoft.

Step 1. Shutdown all application servers, process schedulers, web servers.

Step 2. Make sure that there is no application designer or data mover is connected to the target database on which you plan to run AE VERSION. To be sure you can have the database restarted.

Note: It’s critical that you make sure that there is no connection to the database when you run the AE VERSION as it could lead to drastic change in performance of the application.

Step 3. Go to PS_HOME/bin and run the below command in command line

Command line syntax for AE VERSION:

psae -CD <database name > -CT <database type>-CO <application user id> -CP <application user password> -R <Valid Runcontrol id for the user>  -AI VERSION

 example:

E:\HCM92\bin\client\winx86\psae -CD HRDMO92 -CT ORACLE -CO PS -CP PSS -R RESETVERSIONS -AI VERSION

Step 4. It will take some time for AE Version to finish. After successful completion validate the entries in database by executing below command.

SELECT * FROM PSVERSION ORDER BY VERSION DESC;

Make sure that all the values for VERSION column is ‘1’.

Step 5. Clear cache and start Application Server, Web server and Process Scheduler
